Epic Games wrote in a Reddit post that a hotfix was applied to the game on Wednesday afternoon to adjust the values for both the Compact SMG and the Submachine Gun, released in the 5.0 content update last week. The official patch notes, listed below, decrease the weapons’ accuracy, damage, range, and more.

SMG and Compact SMG accuracy bonus reduced from 35% to 15%.

SMG damage reduced from 19/20/21 to 17/18/19.

Compact SMG damage reduced from 23/24 to 21/22.

SMG fire rate reduced from 13 to 12.

Compact SMG fire rate reduced from 11 to 10.

SMG, Compact SMG, and Silenced SMG damage falloff.

Range reduced from 2400/3500/5000 to 2000/3000/4000.

Percentage reduced from 100/80/65% to 100/70/40%.

Rare SMG and Compact SMGs drop rates slightly reduced.

The studio has not addressed any concerns over the decreased health of built structures for some materials, the other change in the 5.1 update that fans also rallied against, though it is hard to know if the decreased structure health was more of a problem because of the too-powerful SMGs without more data. The developer said it would continue to monitor Fortnite’s balance and make further changes if necessary.
